Answer: there are three different methods of determining the age of a landform.

1 radiation measurement

2 stratigraphic superposition

3 the fossil record

by using these or a combination of these they determined that the earth is around 4.6 billion years old. and this is where the big bang theory comes into play.

To determine the relative age of different rocks, geologists start with the assumption that unless something has happened, in a sequence of sedimentary rock layers, the newer rock layers will be on top of older ones. This is called the Rule of Superposition. ... With absolute age dating, you get a real age in actual years

I need help identifying the type of reactions. Can anyone help?
Eddi Din [679]

Answer:

Reaction 5: Decomposition reaction.

Reaction 6: Single replacement reaction

Reaction 7: Combination reaction.

Reaction 8: Combustion reaction.

Explanation:

<u><em>Reaction 5:</em></u>    2KClO₃ → 2KCl + 3O₂.

  • It is a decomposition reaction.
  • A decomposition reaction is a type of chemical reaction in which a single compound breaks down into two or more elements or new compounds.
  • In this reaction: potassium chlorate decomposes into two single components (potassium chloride and oxygen).
  • So, it is a decomposition reaction.

<u><em>Reaction 6:</em></u> Zn + 2HCl → H₂ + ZnCl₂.

  • It is a single replacement reaction.
  • A single-replacement reaction, a single-displacement reaction, is a reaction by which one (or more) element(s) replaces an/other element(s) in a compound.
  • It is most often occur if element is more reactive than the other, thus giving a more stable product.
  • In this reaction, zinc metal (more active) displaces the hydrogen to form hydrogen gas and zinc chloride, a salt. Zinc reacts quickly with the acid to form bubbles of hydrogen.

<u><em>Reaction 7:</em></u> N₂O₅ + H₂O → 2HNO₃.

  • It is a combination "synthesis" reaction.
  • A synthesis reaction has two or more reactants and only one product.
  • In this reaction, dinitrogen pentoxide reacts with water to produce nitric acid.
  • So, it is considered as a synthetic "combination" reaction.

<u><em>Reaction 8:</em></u> 2C₂H₆ + 7O₂ →  4CO₂ + 6H₂O.

  • It is a combustion reaction.
  • A combustion reaction is a reaction where hydrocarbon alkane is completely burned in oxygen to produce water and carbon dioxide.
  • In this reaction 1.0 mole of ethane is burned to give 4.0 moles of carbon dioxide and 6.0 moles of water.
  • So, it is considered as a combustion reaction.

Limit sodium intake to less than ____________ per day. Limit saturated fat intake to less than ____________ of daily kilocalorie
kotykmax [81]

Answer:

Limit sodium intake to less than <em><u>2,300mg</u></em> per day. Limit saturated fat intake to less than <em><u>10% </u></em>of daily kilocalories. Limit intake of added sugars to less than<em><u> 5% </u></em>of daily kilocalories. Limit intake of alcohol to less than <em><u>3 drinks </u></em>per day for men or less than <em><u>2 drinks</u></em> per day for women.

Explanation:

The human body has been designed such that there are dietary requirements and benefits these intakes give the body. However, excess consumption of certain foods, could be far more detrimental both on the short and long run.

Sodium is majorly consumed in the form of salt (Sodium chloride). When eaten in the right quantity, it serves as an electrolyte which maintains fluid balance in the body however, when taken in excess, it pulls too much fluid, leading to high blood pressure. The recommended salt intake therefore, is less than 2,300mg daily.

Saturated fat when consumed, is a good source for the body to convert diet to energy, keeping the blood sugar levels constant. Lard, fatty meats are examples of saturated fat. However, when consumed in large amounts, saturated fats can cause cholesterol build up in blood vessels, increasing the risk of heart disease. Its intake should therefore be limited to less than 10% of daily kilocalories.

Added sugars are sources of energy to the body however, when taken in large amounts, could impede normal metabolism in the body. Added sugars should be restricted to less than 5% of daily kilocalories in diet.

Alcohol intake such as in wine, when done in moderation, has been shown to reduce the risk of heart diseases. However, when taken in excess, tolerance builds and exposes the body to the risk of conditions such as liver disease, alcohol use disorder.

Definition of proton and example
gtnhenbr [62]

Answer:

An elementary particle that is identical with the nucleus of the hydrogen atom, that along with the neutron is a constituent of all other atomic nuclei, that carries a positive charge numerically equal to the charge of an electron.

Example:

The nucleus of a hydrogen atom or the H+ ion is an example of a proton. Regardless of the isotope, each atom of hydrogen has 1 proton; each helium atom contains 2 protons; each lithium atom contains 3 protons and so on.
